Published on: 

CM Harish Rawat has directed the Secretary of rural development to ensure that weekly markets are organised for the women self help group. He said that the Urban development department should help in selection of these weekly markets in cities. Rawat said that the women Self help groups would be strengthened by this activity. In a separate order to Secretary, Drinking water, Rawat said that a promotional scheme should be constituted for those setting up water harvesting structures. He said that the State Government has formulated a policy for conservation of ground water in the State. Rawat said that the roof top water harvesting and rain water harvesting should be compulsorily added in all the housing projects. He said that the Government has made a plan to provide water bonus for those engaged in water harvesting projects. Rawat said that there is a need to start a campaign for successful implementation of this scheme. He said that forest department should also dig more and more trenches so that the rain water is collected there and ground water is recharged.
